Lucinda waved off his worries. Its fine. Shes not a match for me.
How could she harm me?

Lucinda narrowed her eyes at him and retorted, Ill take that as a compliment.
He chuckled, affirming, It absolutely is a compliment. After all, she was the only woman he held dear.
Kyson sighed and changed the subject. When your father passed away, I recall seeing another obituary for the Simmons family in the newspaper. That girl also passed away, didnt she?
Lucinda nodded. As if thinking of something, she stated firmly, Whether shes dead or alive, the Simmons family wont protect her.
I wont allow her to cause trouble again.

Kyson wore a serious expression at her words.
He realized that this matter might hold deeper complexities he wasnt privy to.
As he was about to seek further details, the rooms door swung open.
Immediately Sonny and Luisa walked in, they caught sight of Lucinda and Kyson playing with the babies. It was a touching sight.
If Nathan were to see this, hed likely be quite displeased.
Weve come to visit the babies. Hope were not interrupting anything.
Sonny covered his mouth with his fist and coughed.
He gently tapped Luisa who was behind him on the shoulder.
Understanding his signal, she entered the room, pulled up a chair, and settled herself between Lucinda and Kyson, creating some space between them.
The four grown-ups entertained the babies, engaging in conversation and sharing laughter.
Thirty minutes later, dinner was set and served.
Lucinda uncorked several bottles of quality wine, and they all enjoyed a few glasses. They put on a facade of happiness and enthusiasm.
After the meal, since Kyson didnt have a car, Lucinda requested Rickey to give him a ride back to the Shaws house.
For the first time, Nathan felt the need to drive Sonny home after he had had too much to drink.
Lucinda offered no objection and retreated upstairs to take a shower.
